    130: Fear and Catastrophizing Trajectories in Rotator Cuff Exercise Outcomes
    Jun 15 2026

    This episode dissects a study that examines how psychological factors, specifically pain-related fear and catastrophizing, influence recovery in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy during an 8-week exercise program. Researchers tracked 64 participants to observe if their beliefs about movement and pain changed alongside improvements in shoulder disability.

  • 129: Non-Surgical Interventions for Pediatric Flexible Flatfoot Network Meta-Analysis

    129: Non-Surgical Interventions for Pediatric Flexible Flatfoot Network Meta-Analysis
    Jun 11 2026

    This episode dissects a network meta-analysis that evaluates the effectiveness of various non-surgical interventions for children diagnosed with pediatric flexible flatfoot. Researchers categorized treatments into active exercise-based physical therapy, such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and corrective exercises, and passive orthotic interventions, including talus control insoles and corrective shoes.
